 About fifty students left New Haven Sat urday morning to witness the initial strug- gle between Yale and Princeton for superi- ority on the diamond and were we'll reward ed by seeing what proved to be the most in teresting game ever played between the op- posing nines A stiff wind blew across the
 field annoying the players in the outfeld and caused many misjudgments of fies which would otherwise have been easily oap- tured. In no part of the game did the in tense excitement attached to the game lessen and in the ninth inning when the first Prince ton man made his way around the bases the pent up feelings of the wearers of the orange and black made the welkin ring with their continued cheers and rahs. then lined up along first and second bases and their incsssant cheering had the effect of almost causing panic among the nine de- lenders of Yale. Stsgg here showed his presence of mind and with coolness that would do credit to a professional saw where he was wanted and took his place near home base. Hunt had made wild throw to third and Cross lost his head while Wagenhurst taking advantage of the condition of the nine started from third toward home. Ae few more leaps and he would have crossed the home plate and tenth inning would have had to be played had not Damn found the ball at the grand stand where it rolled from Cross wild throw and thrown it to Stagg, who put the man out not a moment too soon. At this point upon the decision of the umpire that it was block ball the joy of Princeton stu dents knew no bounds, but Damn clearly showed the rules to what determined a block ball and Umpire Fulmer reversed his ooCAsAoA duu gave Iuo Sau1o lo l dLe, -, with the full approval of every Princeton man. Yale thus wins her first game after the hardest fight she has had with Princeton since she beat her g to 8 in ten innings in their first game last year.
 When the news of the victory reached the campus it was taken with a great deal of pleasure, but with very little demonstration. Betting here in the city had been 9 to 1 in favor of Yale, but in Princeton several even bets were offered and taken. Yale will next meet Columbia at the Yale Field next Satur- day, and it is probable that Columbia will offer but little resistance.
 The game between Harvard and Columbia at the Polo grounds Saturday was devoid of interest and Harvard had everything her own way from the start. Had she wished to she might have easily increased her number of runs. The game resulted in favor of Harvard, 12 to 0.
 The game between the Yale freshmen and Wesleyan freshmen Saturday at the Yale Field opened very auspiciously for the Wes- leyans, who made six runs in the first inning by the Yale men becoming rattled, but after that Yale go braced up and played good uphill game and won by the score of 16 to 7.
